LOL i had to check with hubby because i can NEVER remember the name of it. but we picked it out of the top of the plastic mickey rice krispy treat thing. there were 5 choices and i don't really remember any of them except 1 was heaven by bryan adams.

Billy Joel - Just The Way You Are is what we danced too. it wasn't too long either! but of course with everybody watching, it was an eternity!

 

[IDoDis]

Your the inspiration---Chicago

Same here! Even 20 years later, it's still the perfect song!

 

[pospisil]

I don't have the faintest idea. I just asked DH if he remembered, and he thought I was trying to trick him! (He doesn't remember either.)

Our song was "I Will Be Here" by Steven Curtis Chapman. I listened to tons of songs but absolutely nothing I listened too expressed what a marriage is all about better than this song. And on top of that, it is beautiful

Tomorrow morning if you wake
up and the sun does not appear
I will be here
If in the dark, we lose sight of love
Hold my hand, and have no fear
'Cause I will be here

I will be here
When you feel like being quiet
When you need to speak your mind
I will listen
And I will be here
When the laughter turns to cryin'
Through the winning, losing and trying
We'll be together
I will be here

Tomorrow morning, if you wake up
And the future is unclear
I will be here
Just as sure as seasons were made for change
Our lifetimes were made for these years
So I will be here

I will be here
And you can cry on my shoulder
When the mirror tells us we're older
I will hold you
And I will be here
To watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you are to me
I will be here

I will be true to the promise I have made
To you and to the One who gave you to me

Tomorrow morning, if you wake up
And the sun does not appear
I will be here
Oh, I will be here

Joe Cocker's You Are so Beautiful

"Me and You" by Kenny Chesney

Almost 14 years later I still tear up when I hear this song . . .

True companion by Marc Cohn

Its so awesome! The words were so perfect. You can google it to find them. It was nice to have a song that isn't the norm too.

Got married in 1986, the Hawaiian Wedding song was our song

 

[Sorsha]

An old country song - "The Battle Hymn of Love"

I will pledge my heart, to the love we share.
Through the good and bad times too.
I'll forsake my rest for your happiness:
'Til my death I will stand by you.

With God as my witness, this vow I will make;
To have and to hold you, no other to take.
For rich or for poor, under skies grey or blue,
'Til my death I will stand by you.

There are wars and there are rumours, of wars yet to come.
Temptations we'll have to walk through.
Though others may tremble, I will not run.
'Til my death I will stand by you.

I will put on the armour of faithfulness,
To fight for a heart that is true.
'Til the battle is won, I will not rest.
'Til my death I will stand by you.

With God as my witness, this vow I will make;
To have and to hold you, no other to take.
For rich or for poor, under skies grey or blue,
'Til my death I will stand by you.

'Til the battle is won, I will not run.
'Til my death I will stand by you.

I don't like it nearly as much now as I did when I was 20... and NOT agnostic... honestly now, I remember it fondly because it was in my wedding, but apart from that it makes me feel a wee bit gaggy like when you eat waaaaaaaaaay too much chocolate all at one time.

Angel Eyes by The Jeff Healy Band. My husband picked it.

DH and I didn't have a fancy wedding, just a courthouse wedding. But, we did use some of the lyrics from "Always and Forever" by Heatwave on our wedding announcements...

Always and forever
Each moment with you
Is just like a dream to me
That somehow came true

Ultimately our songs are "I Melt with You" by Modern English and "Yours" by Blues Traveler. And if we had done a fancy wedding, we would have incorporated all three songs in some way.

Here are the lyrics for "Yours". I think this song is achingly beautiful. It really brings a tear to my eyes every time I hear it.

"Yours" by Blues Traveler

You, with your and outstretched
finger on the key
this lock that You release
is opening but isn't free
and i hope that You can see
how it beats inside of me
instead of pushing fear aside
i want to run, i want to hide
i am vulnerably Yours
She, who is wanting me
Whose touch can make me cry
i can only understand
by never asking Her why
hear the contradictions fly
and as hard as i may try
every truth becomes a lie
in the ache of Her reply
i am passionately...
Yours
and the saddest eyes are
Yours
and the softest skin is
Yours
and the hope i borrow is
Yours
so won't you let me in, i'm Yours
all that i begin is Yours
every prize i win is Yours
at your feet again, i'm Yours
all i am is Yours
all i am is wanting You
i've fallen down and i can't seem to come to
if i shoud die before i wake
i commend my soul into this ache
up above the world so high
where the water tends to meet the sky
She's all i'm after by the toe
and i won't let go
and i wanted you to know
that if you reap what you would sew
i would take it blow by blow
all i am is...
Yours
and the saddest eyes are
Yours
and the softest skin is
Yours
and the hope i borrow is
Yours
so won't you let me in, i'm Yours
all that i begin is Yours
every prize i win is Yours
at your feet again, i'm Yours
all i am is Yours
Yours

Love Song by the Cure. Love hearing it come on the radio now and telling our kids it was our wedding song!

Truly Madly Deeply by Savage Garden

I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope, I'll be your love
Be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do

I will be strong, I will be faithful
'Cause I'm counting on
A new beginnin'
A reason for livin'
A deeper meanin', yea

And I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

And when my stars are shinin' brightly in the velvet sky
I'll make a wish to send it to Heaven
Then make you want to cry
The tears of joy for all the pleasure in the certainty
That we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of
The highest powers in lonely hours
(Lonely hours)
The tears devour you

And I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

Oh can't you see it baby?
You don't have to close your eyes
'Cause it's standin' right before you
All that you need will surely come
Uhh hu yea

I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope, I'll be your love
Be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do
(I love you)
Huh huh

I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

And I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
Well I want to live like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

Huh huh uhh
Yea uhh huh
La la la duh duh huh
La la la duh duh huh
Uhh hu

"Annie's Song" by John Denver. I pretty much loathed him, but my DH likes him. When I heard this song though, I knew it was the one!

 

[PrincesCJM]

"Bless the Broken Road" By Rascal Flatts. Neither one of us is a country fan but when I heard this song on a tv show, I knew that it would be our wedding song.
